FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Burlington, VT: Burlington City Arts is pleased to announce a newly created banner in City Hall Park, featuring an award received by longtime Burlington area musicians Rick and the Ramblers. The banner is printed with the words “Home of the “Best Western Swing Song” Winner, Rick and the Ramblers -Academy of Western Artists, 2014.”

We look forward to many more years of lyrics from this Burlington institution,” said BCA Executive Director Doreen Kraft.
